Country comedian/singer Rodney Carrington is coming to the Prairie Capital Convention Center on Feb. 10, 2011.

Five of his eight albums have made the Top 20 of the Billboard country charts, including "El Niño Loco" (2009), "King of the Mountains" (2007) and "Greatest Hits" (2004). Over time, he's stepped up the musical part of his act. Last year's two albums — "El Niño Loco" and "Make it Christmas" — were his first to contain all songs, and he scored his first Top-40 country hit with "Camouflage and Christmas Lights."

The concert was announced on Carrington's website. A call seeking confirmation from PCCC general manager Brian Oaks was not immediately returned.

The show time, ticket prices and the on-sale date were not yet available, so keep an eye on Carrington's Ticketmaster page.

Update, Oct. 27, 2010: Tickets cost $44. There will be a special pre-sale on Nov. 18 for people with tickets to the Larry the Cable Guy show. Tickets go on sale to the public on Nov. 20 at the PCCC box office, by calling 800-745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.
